' HAIR-WAVING iin vion;

Application filed May 17, 1926, Serial No.

The object of my invention is to provide a device adapted to wave hair and, if required, to restore its undulation when it has already undergone waving.

In order to make myinvention more clearly understood, I have illustrated, as an ex-' I ample, an embodiment thereof in and by a drawing appended hereto and wherein:

Figure 11s a side elevation showing the 7 ters denote the same parts.

My device is composed of two or more elements EE each of which is formed of two parallel branches A and B, slightly curved, and joined two and two at their ends, as is clearly shown by Figure 3, said elements leaving between them a clearance the purpose ofwhich will be hereinafter explained.

Said parallel elements E-E have, at one of their ends, a housing or seat D, while their opposite ends are connected by a spindle F. On said spindle F is pivotally mounted so that it can be displaced relatively to said spindle, a fork comprising a handle member G and arms or branches H, I-I.,

which latter are slightly curved,like the branches A, B and have their ends H rounded, said branches H, II being arranged between the said branches AB. Displacement of the fork relative to its pivot spindle, as above mentioned, is permitted owing to apertures I provided for the purpose through the sides G of the handle G.

I use the so-constituted device in the following manner:

Having prepared in the usual way the hair, to be waved, I set branches HH in the position shown in Figure 1 by exerting a pull on handle G in the directionof arrow f. I then engage branches HH in the hair (Figure A) and I press on member G in the direction of arrow f the'eifect of this pressure is to tilt upwards the said branchescarrying with them a lock of hair which is thereby engaged between the branches AB of h e ement 13- 3 1 109,744, and in France November 7, 1925.

then exert a push on member G in the direction of arrow f so as to make the rounded ends H of branches HH rest on the bottom of seats D; the hair is thus squeezed and 7 takes the desired waving.

The waves or undulations can be imparted any desired direction by means of a comb passed through the above mentioned clearance C. I wish it to be clearly understood that I do not intend the above described embodiment tobe in any way limitative and that I reserve the right to introduce any desirable modification without being deemedto depart from the scope of my invention, I

may, for instance, make the branches of my device oval, cylindrical or flat.

Having now particularly ascertained and described the nature of my said invention as well as the manner in which the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is 1. A device adapted to wave hair or to restore the undulation thereof, comprising two fixed elementseach embodying two parallel branches joined at their ends, said elements leaving between them a clearance permitting the undulations to be set as the hairdresser chooses and provided atone end with seats, a spindle connecting said elements at the other end thereof, and a fork mounted on said spindle for both pivotal and shifting movement, the branches of the fork being located between the branches of the fixed elements, and adapted to take a lock of hair and to squeeze it against the fixe'd branches so as to form the desired wave, the ends of the fork branches being adapted to be engaged with and held stationary by said seats by shifting the fork relative to its pivotal axls.

2. A hair-waving device, comprising a pair of fixed elements provided at one end with seats, each element embodying .two spaced parallel branches; a spindle connecting said elements at the other end thereof; anda fork mounted on said spindle for both pivotal and shifting movement and having its branches disposed between those of said fixed elements so as to engage a lock of hair and squeeze it against the fixed branches, the free ends of the fork branches adapted to be engaged in said seats and thereby held stationary by shifting the fork relatively to its pivotal axis.

3. A hair-waving device, comprising a pai at fi e e ement ae h embedyieg W0 spaced zrrallel branches; at spindle connecting salt elements at one end; a; iorli mounted on said spindle for both pivotal and shifting movement and having its branches disposed between those of said fixed elements so as to engage a lock of hair and squeeze it against the fixed branches; and means at the opposite end of said elements from said spindle to engage and retain the fork branches when the fork is shifted relatively 10 to its pivotal axis.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.

EUGENE CHARLES ADOLPHE SEONCET.
